Note: I am asking this question on the samba list also..
I have a samba server with a network of Win2k clients in workgroup mode. Each
machine is setup to use netbios over tcp/ip and use the samba server for Wins
Resolution (there are a couple of Win9x boxes on the network).
Now the problem is this, the username/password credentials on the samba box
are different from the username/password used to logon to the local machine.
I setup the mapped network drives and configure things to connect as a
different user (the samba credentials) and reconnect on logon. However after
logging off/rebooting, after typing in the username/password it pops up the
network login saying you connected to this share previously as..... and has a
field to enter the samba password.
Is there any way to save this so the users don't have to enter the samba
password on each logon/reboot?
Changing all the samba accounts to match the workstation ones is not
currently an option.
